i'm a complete arma-noob who has downloaded stalker GB's UK uniform mod.

i added it to the add ons folder in the game but don't know how i can have my men wear them in the single player campaign or anything else(when i will make my own missions...later...much later).

so the question is simple;how do i select the UK uniforms for my game to be used by what are now US soldies and marines?

You can't, unless you create yourself a replacement mod. Units are "hardcoded" and can't be changed on the fly. Either use/make a replacement addon or edit the missions yourself, replacing the units with ones you want.

Well, what this means is that you can't (well sorta) change the uniforms in the SP campaign as the campaign was designed using the units supplied by the game. If you want to play the campaigns that come with the game using the new uniforms you would have to extract the campaign files and change the units in the editor yourself... so yeah in that sense I personally wouldn't bother.

Now you can use the editor to create your own mission and there you will be able to select the new units (uniforms) to play with. Mission creation isn't difficult so I suggest you give that a shot!

The uniform pack you DL'd is an 'addon' versus 'replacement' the difference should be obvious from the terms used. If the uniform pack you DL'd was a 'replacement' pack then it would modify the default units in the game so you could play the SP campaign as UK soldiers.

Not entirely true. He could create a replacement addon which replaces default BIS units with corresponding UK-mod units. It is in fact only a config which redefines the models used.

Needs some time and config knowledge. For a beginner i would guess a work of one week including research (about configs).
